Caustful Tears



She neither have luxury,penny nor money
Yet, her life full with crispy mint of testimony,

World may deny some treasure or wealth
But heaven is too generous with pleasure and health.

Life may be as bitter as lime
But even death can be cured with time.
        
What's Generosity's price
If not sacrifice.

     Imagine!
With a tiny token,
From a conscience coin,
Heaven's mouth mopped,
Both sky and stars smiled
